OK, I know no one asked for the lyrics, but since they haven't been posted before, I may as well post them here.

Transcribed from the sheet music images at The Library of Congress American Memory Collection:

SONG OF THE SOUTHERN BOYS
CHEER, BOYS, CHEER
Adapted by Herman L. Schreiner, 1861.

CHORUS: Cheer, boys, cheer! We'll march away to battle.
Cheer, boys, cheer, for our sweethearts and our wives!
Cheer, boys, cheer! We'll nobly do our duty,
And give to the South our hearts, our arms, our lives.

Bring forth the flag, our country's noble standard.
Wave it on high till the wind shake each fold out.
Proudly it floats, nobly waving in the vanguard.
Then cheer up, boys, cheer, with a lusty long bold shout. CHORUS
